Jon, I never did learn to play Bad To The Bone worth a tiny crap! But with your help on it and effort, it helped me learn to play that style and gave me some other songs that work. Thanks!
Just curious as to what you meant when your comment left said "Quinn or Stewart?". I'm new at the site and I didn't understand what that meant. Thanks and best wishes-Lowatter
you are very kind Jon, I've been foolin around with the ukulele for a little while after failing badly with the guitar, sadly my fingers are just so stiff ha ha.

If you would like to take your time machine for another spin take a look at
www.readysteadygone.co.uk/club-agogo-newcastle/ the list of musicians and bands that played at the gogo in the late sixties is mind boggling
P.S. pick me up along the way
